So, essentially, these people are against any kind of reasonable power supply at all. So, please, when your granny freezes to death this winter—either because she can't pay the fuel bills, or because the super wind turbines have failed to actually deliver any power—do remember to send a Thank You card to Frack Off.

From the first time I heard about this operation some months ago I was concerned, not having a scientific mind in any way whatsoever but quite a logical one, I started questioning about the void left by fracking and then finding out that the void is filled with water, which is not the natural substance to replace gas in the void created. Water is not a solid substance and will move and soak away, I am certainly not surprised that earth tremors have been associated with this practice. STOP IT NOW

There you go people—"water is not a solid substance". Whereas, of course, gas is. Er...

Still, Gillian Craig is right about one thing: she really doesn't have "a scientific mind in any way whatsoever"—although her claim to have "quite a logical one" is belied by the sheer, rampant stupidity of her remarks.

What's really funny, though, is that if you note the link, you'll see that Gillian's spouting is comment #11—but it is the only one that appears on that page. Which means that this was the best comment that they could find and that at least another 10 disappeared down the memory hole (presumably because the commenters disagreed with Frack Off).

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is all that you need to know about the arseholes at Frack Off: that they don't tolerate free speech, they tout the stupidity of people like Gillian Craig, they are pig-ignorant about science and economics, and that they think that 2,700 people dying of cold every winter just isn't a big enough death toll.

Fracking is our new North Sea. Once the shits in Government realise that here is another tax revenue to to rape and pillage it will go ballistic. Our fuel bills will still be exorbitant, of course.We will be as well off as we never have been with oil revenue!

Ironically I've been in favour of shale extraction for some time and yet I've just read a news alert concerning a strong quake in Oklahoma measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale. Hmmn, makes you think.Here's the link:

I was wondering if you folks have ever heard of a couple of guys called Mike Ruppert and Dave McGowan?Bella might have.I've been browsing McGowans website this weekend so I thought this would be on topic.McGowan makes a strong case for oil being abiotic.The people who push the notion ofPeak oilare the people holding the taps.Might be a bit too tinfoil for some,but he seems like an honest journalist,easy to read and quite compelling.The Laurel canyon section is a must read for anyone who likes 60s music.

For those old enough to remember the north sea oil discovery and being told "your gas bills will be minimum"this will be the same the gas will be sold on the open market with no benefit to the general public.

What are these "even more dangerous" nuclear reactors the eco-barmpots are talking about? More dangerous than what? Freezing to death in winter? More dangerous than a Soviet era RBMK? The designs of cars, televisions, aircraft and everything else has advanced since the 1950s. Do these loons think the nuclear industry, of all industries, has decided to make "more dangerous" reactors? They really need to cut back on the magic mushrooms.

Eco Lunacy, and climate and energy hysteria, are of course the new religions of the moronic left. They needed something to replace the completely discredited, and utterly failed, economic socialism as their article of faith and having failed to succeed in claiming anti racism as theirs and theirs alone then moved on to Green wingnuttery.

It is all watermelon stuff: green on the outside but flaming red on the inside!
